Obiano Yet To Meet Bail Conditions, Arrest Not Political – EFCC
Posted by FN Editor | 2 years ago | 633 times
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has revealed why it has yet to release the immediate past governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano, from his custody.
EFCC Chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa, gave the reason in his remarks on Monday at an event in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
He spoke at the opening of the 5th Annual General Assembly of the Network of National Anti-Corruption Institutions In West Africa (NACIWA).
Bawa confirmed that the anti-graft agency has since granted administrative bail to the former governor.
However, the Commissioner for Information in Anambra at the time, Don Adinuba, condemned the action of the EFCC which he claimed was politically motivated.
After handing over to his successor, Professor Charles Soludo, the former governor was intercepted by EFCC operatives at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos on Thursday last week.
He was said to be on his way out of the country to Houston, Texas in the United States before he was arrested and later transferred to the EFCC head office in Abuja.
